Hopefully the winds predicted won't affect them as they are too close to the ground. As I mentioned in another thread I suspect the predicted winds will be responsible for a 70% plus loss of the fruit on the trees that I thought we were going to reap this year. Nature taking care of itself maybe? |

Somehow seems to jam up the collection box despite it being very lightweight. As in another thread the cultivated Blackberries are in full bloom already, have been for a week or more so definitely early. |
